Comment on So glad I suck dick
Stamets@piefed.world 3 weeks agoLemmy.ml banned me on my Startrek.website account years ago during the height of my posting. Like when I was posting 20 things every hour or two. Why? Posted some Jimmy Neutron meme about Disney having a first gay character and it being the 14th one this month. Title was like "Can always be the first in China at least for a couple minutes" or something along those lines.
From what I heard from some of the people who worked on .ml behind the scenes, they had to reverse the ban because a bunch of people started asking why there was no new content and other people started to realize it was because I had gotten banned.
Have never posted on lemmy.ml since and don't bother to interact with the instance at all. I don't have it blocked because not all users are like the admins but like fuck am I ever adding to that shithole ever again. I thought that was the worst I'd ever deal with from admins... and then I started getting personally harassed by the startrek.website admins across multiple websites and basically forgot about lemmy.ml entirely.

Blocking an instance only blocks you from seeing communities there, it doesn’t block you from seeing users posting in other communities.
I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately, the devs are .ml fans, and they know such a feature would ruin their instance because people fucking hate them.
Check the changelogs for the latest release then. :)

But, isn’t it wonderful that we can have a fediverse where there can be annoying instances like those ones, but if you don’t like it you can just move or block?
The fediverse is chaotic but I sure prefer chaos to having one corporate overlord with one point of view, and one goal, which is getting ads in front of as many eyeballs as possible.
